I have just pick my rs4 which has the rsn-e head unit with audi blutooth cradle stuck on the side.
the guy from audi said that lots of people take this off and put it behind the unit. as it looks very ugly i was hoping to do this. does anyone have any experience doing this or even better are there any guides out there?
many thanks

The Bluetooth module isn't in the cradle - it's underneath the front seat. The cradle is just that, a cradle.

Lots of people have removed the cradle (all you need to do is unscrew it and unplug it), but when you remove it there will be some large holes left in the centre console so unless you can live with those you'll need to replace the centre console trim.

Thanks Dave. its such a bad design, a bit of an after thought really. i guess a centre trim is expensive from Audi?! any other places to get one from??

Worth a look on eBay as it's the same trim on B6/B7 A4/S4/RS4 (make sure it the right colour).

People can fix trim. Speak to your local in car entertainment Shop.

thanks for all the suggestions guys. I will have a look around and have a talk with a smart repair company as well.
